| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, it's read before we get started, I just want to first and foremost say thanks to all of you to all of you who listen who share this podcast, who share the word of the mission that the Lincoln project is on about preserving and protecting American democracy. |
| 0:14.7 | Those of you that voted, those of you that donated, those of you that knocked on doors, made phone calls sent text messages. |
| 0:21.8 | I cannot say thank you enough. |
| 0:23.2 | It is only because of folks like you that any of this is possible. |
| 0:26.5 | I cannot wait to see where this next adventure takes us. I know it will be a hard slog, but I know that together we'll have another good night like we did last night. |
| 0:35.5 | And now on with the show. |
| 0:45.3 | Welcome back to the Lincoln project. I'm your host, Reed Gaillan. |
| 0:49.2 | Today I'm joined by Rick Wilson, my fellow co-founder of the Lincoln project, host of LP TV's The Breakdown, author of the New York Times bestsellers running against the devil and everything Trump touches dies and host of the brand new top charted podcast Rick Wilson's the enemies list. |
| 1:07.6 | Rick, welcome back. |

| 1:14.9 | So we are recording this the Wednesday afternoon after election day and to say Rick that it was a monumental night that has frankly not ended. |

| 1:47.8 | The Democrats have picked up a Senate seat in Pennsylvania. |
| 1:51.0 | They are on the precipice of holding a Senate seat in Arizona. |
| 1:54.6 | There's another one as we record that is too close to call. |
| 1:57.8 | There's still counting half a million ballots in Nevada and a fourth actually that will go to run off in Georgia being Senator Raphael Warnock against |
| 2:06.1 | Herschel Walker in the United States House of Representatives. |
| 2:09.9 | It was supposed to be, you know, part of what was the red wave, you know, and the Republicans were calling it a red wave mixed with this red mirage. |
